Entrance Antiphon
Cantor:   Behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the upholder of my soul;
Turn back all the evil against my enemies, destroy them in your fidelity,
O Lord, the Protector of my life.
Save me, O God, by your name, and render justice unto me in your strength. 
All:          Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen.

Psalm Response: Lord, you are good and forgiving.

Communion Antiphon 
The Lord, the gracious, the merciful, has made a memorial of his wonders;  He gives food to those who fear him.

Communion Hymn
Refrain: Take and Eat; Take and Eat: This is my body given up for you.  Take and drink; Take and drink: This is my blood given up for you.

CONFESSIONALS
We would like to return to the confessionals soon. Protective temporary walls have been built (no face to face confessions during the pandemic) and we are awaiting the delivery of new (coronavirus safe) confessional screens.
TV EQUIPMENT
The last piece of the puzzle are the cameras. Due to the pandemic there was a run on cameras. Ours are due to arrive by the end of July.
OUTDOOR SOUND
We are still having trouble with the priest’s mic, so the wireless system will be used only by our musicians for now.
PRIEST VACATIONS
Father Connolly will be away July 20-24 and Father Michael will be away July 27-31.
